The Alchemyst

The Click Promo was for Europe, only. And that makes sense because Europe doesn't get Brickmaster. I doubt they'd do something that low. I mean, "Exclusive" has to mean something. [-TA-]

The VA's are really into it. o.o Can't wait to see how the animations match with it. Kiina's and Berix's surprised me. Not sure how Kiina will fit her badass attitude. Unless it becomes more arrogant than badass. Berix, eh, I just hope the animation fits. And thanks BFA, makes a lot more sense than "A screeching bird" xD Sounds like pride Release... Let me take on eternity Taking one more step And let it rip through me I'm building up my nerves, So you can wish me well Or you can wish me hell. From pride we'll fall! Bye bye Babylon! Once reaching for the sun. You're taking everyone So don't you know, You don't belong Bye Bye Babylon! Now scattered you were wrong We're burning in the sun We better be... Bye Bye Babylon begone! Unseen... The crime of destruction is facing me I wanted to retreat, But you won't let me be. I'm calling for belief. Be sure, I will be there. And you will faaaallll [fade] Bye Bye Babylon. Now scattered you were wrong. We're burning in the sun We better be... Bye Bye Babylon begone! Bye Bye Babylon begone! Bye Bye Babylon begone! [-TA-]

Thanks, Nightmare, the "fall" makes sense, "From I will fall" still doesn't though. Nor does the "screeching bird" part, @_@ Anyone have ideas for that? Begone, be gone, whatever. :P Release... Let me take on eternity Taking one more step And let it rip through me I'm building up my nerves, So you can wish me well Or you can wish me hell. For I will fall! [?] Bye bye Babylon!

@Greivous: Don't think Cryoshell is Hard Rock at all. =/ With all the different instruments, and especially with CiMS and now this, it's much more alternative I think. My kind of music. :D Heh, I personally like Instrumentals better than the ones with Lyrics. Listened to both. Absolutely loving the Instrumental of BBB, the Arabian undertones are working really well, with the Strings and Brass. The Intros are always amazing. This is probably my favorite yet, even topping CiMS. Sweet Guitar Solo too. I never really liked Closer to the Truth as much as CiMS. CttT had a really sweet intro though. Lyrics are pretty darn awesome too. They used Hell, so I'm wondering what the Lego vers will have. As a song, I think it tops CiMS. Hm, So there's been like 7 Bionicle/Lego songs, minus already existing songs like Move Along and Crashed: Hero - AIK Caught up in a Dream - AIK CiMS - Cryoshell Face Me - Niels Brinck/Cryoshell Gravity Hurts - Niels Brinck/Cryoshell CttT - Cryoshell BBB - Cryoshell. Hero and Caught up in a dream had some vague yet connected lyrics. I liked AIK too. CiMS was pretty darn awesome, I really liked the piano in the beginning, and the relatively slow tempo worked well, without dragging on. Face Me was forgettable Gravity Hurts had pretty bad lyrics IMO, relation was much to obvious. >.> CttT better than the last two, but still something felt iffy about it. Maybe it was the slow bits and emptiness in the middle. BBB Lively, fun and fast, I really like it. EDIT: Transcribing lyrics, went to Bionicle.com to check if it was out, and I found this nonsense. The collage/posters are pretty tacky, in my opinion. >.> EDIT 2: Here's what I can get, if anyone can help that'd be great. Release... Let me take on eternity Taking one more step And let it rip through me I'm building up my nerves, So you can wish me well Or you can wish me hell. From time will fall[?] Bye bye Babylon!

Man, the "Building up my nerves... or you can wish me hell part" is my favorite. [-TA-]

I cannot wait for Wednesday. I'm going to go ahead and assume what most people are thinking. Racer-style head, with a Purple Covering, trademark smile and beard-thing. Sandy's Helmet, a back attachment with stud to attach wings. New Torso, Green Crotch, White legs. I really do hope to see some other characters. It'd be really nice to see some insight to the new movie as well. :D PoP, eh, I think it'll almost have an Indiana Jones-Oriental Expedition feel to it. Let's just hope we don't see an Orc Sword. >.> [-TA-]

Oh man. The texture is still unbelievably awesome. Those Rock Steeds? They're running... Like Raptors. Sick. Looks like Kiina is driving with Ackar Mata Nui hanging on for dear life. Pretty awesome. I'm going to go watch the Rock Steeds some more times @_@ [-TA-]

Well once we get the 7G and 5A all done, [including Mata Nui and Gelu], we'll vote on who disappears. [-TA-]

So 2 Glatorian and 3 Agori. We'll vote on who when we get the characters solidified. [-TA-]

Today was a busy day so slightly late. >.> The results, from top to bottom: 2G 3A 18 1G 3A 11 3G 2A 11 3G 1A 8 2G 1A 8 3G 3A 6 6G 3A 3 1G 2A 3 1G 4A 1 2G 2A 1 2G 5A 1 3G 4A 1 4G 2A 1 7G 5A [Ha ha] 1 [Lol Dor] So we'll now get one vote, for these three: 2G 3A | 1G 3A 3G 2A 24 hours or whenever. ._. [-TA-]

Updated. Ferast was Ferocious and just a cool ending Hmmm.. or Ferocious Blast. Yea that was my first idea. >.> Well, then I hate to choose a name, so either make one, or pick one, or we'll have another round of voting for the name. xD I'd just say something manageable. A Tajun Agori would be nice, seeing that that's all we're missing [excluding sand and rock, since they don't "count"] And <3 Custom Parts would be amazing. New vote Blargh, it's a long one. >< [-TA-]

Well I'm cutting it an hour short, mostly because we're done. >.> So how many get taken away? You may put your top 3 Votes, [1 being first, and 3 being third] Points will be counted like 5, 3 and 1. Don't add on, I think it would lead to confusion. =/ Just quote, erase box and put new results. This will probably take two cycles, seeing how many choices there are. The ones with top votes will be reheld, unless there's a huge consensus the first time. :P 1 Glat 1 Agori 1G 2A 1G 3A 1G 4A 1G 5A 2G 1A 2G 2A 2G 3A 1 2G 4A 2G 5A 3G 1A 3G 2A 2 3G 3A 3 3G 4A 3G 5A 4G 1A 4G 2A 4G 3A 4G 4A 4G 5A 5G 1A 5G 2A 5G 3A 5G 4A 5G 5A 6G 1A 6G 2A 6G 3A 6G 4A 6G 5A 7G 1A 7G 2A 7G 3A 7G 4A 7G 5A [Ha ha] 24 Hours go! [-TA-]

Alright, fixed the first post of the Vote Topic with a better list. Tell me if I forgot anything. VBBN is back and would like to join apparently. So let's have a count, just the Glatorian and Agori, since we need to get these done I feel D: [i'm also throwing out some names.]: Glatorian: The Dor/Antrozek- Art: Ex-raider Ferast from Iconox [w/ Sand Armor] Bfahome - MOC: Glatorian from Tajun [Name? Deriaus? Moruum?] Alchy - MOC: Teborus from Iconox. [updated pic w/ Thornax Launcher shortly] Yami-MOC: Vulcanus Veteran Trainee [Name? Hestan? Vostra?] Lepaka-MOC: Asilex from Rock Tribe [Fixing up maybe? It is Rock Tribe yet it's White? o.O [No recent Response either?]] Someone: MATA NUI Someone: GELU Which makes 7, People make more, since we will vote to cut down. :o Agori: 3D Brickthing: ? with Rotadus V2 from Vulcanus[?] [Name? Gerim? Perun?] Someone: ? Someone: ? Someone: TARDUK Someone: Kirbold [someone has the pieces for him, yet can revamp him, it'd be great ^^] Forgive me if I missed anyone. [-TA-]

Assuming The Dor quoted the first post, this is the fixed one.

When MN first talked, it was so deep and calming. ._. It's like the Morgan Freeman of Bionicle. Click is so cute. :3 In the comics, in the movie, and even as a shield. *scuttle scuttle* I thought Kaxium was good, but then the review with the pics of the bare insides looked so... funny. =/ It now just seems like sticks with wheels covered with weapons. I'd get Cendox. It's Cheaper than 2 Glatorian, you get some nice parts, a good function apparently and a sexy mask. [-TA-]

@ Ecto: They fall in the right arm, near the White Quartz Mountains. Every body part is disconnected I think. Look at the Bara Magna Map on BS01. @Yami: This is it I suppose. And I like it. Torso works well, I do think it might be too monochrome, but other than that very nice. EDIT: Oh, what's the piece count? And I suggest adding half bushels to the 4 axle holding Thornax Launcher to keep it from slipping together. New Vote up! [-TA-]

Well, so Refugees are found early on in the Right Arm. There will be one Villain for every area, meaning 6, [and separate MIND and its lacky] But we still have this revote! I personally think Vertea's Idea is good, since it gives direct motivation of exploring, but having only 2 characters journeying defeats the purpose of having 12 main characters, I feel. So it's an unnumbered amount of characters right now [if it gets chosen, number of taken away and who will be voted for]. Another 24 hours! How do they explore: As a team Split off into 2 groups All wander alone. Some are taken away, and others explore the place to find them | [-TA-]

VILLAINS: Ecto-Concept Art Vertea-Concept art / parasite consultant Bfahome - MOC: MIND Bfahome - MOC: flying propeller scout thing (?) Alchy - MOC: Vorox thing [shortly] HEROES: The Dor / Antrozek: Ex-raider Bfahome - MOC: Glatorian from Tajun Alchy - MOC: Teborus from Iconox. AGORI:

My personal favorite is Cendox. Kaxium is a little bland on the inside of the vehicles. Then I'd spend the rest on other Lego. Or Cendox and Glatorian, whichever you prefer. [-TA-]

So we've gone off on a tangent, we still need Glatorian designs in. And seeing that like 4 or so more people are starting to enter the story topic, It looks like we'll have to change the way the voting works. After the post there will be 24 hours [or so, as soon as I get on after that mark], for anyone who wants to, to vote. We'll change the time, seeing how this works out first of all. A kind of a recap: 7 Glatorian, 5 Agori, including Mata Nui, Gelu, Kirbold and Tarduk fall into the right arm of the GS, around East of the White Quartz Mountains. They wander around the parts of the body with different environments. [insert Story here] [insert battles with villains here] The creatures are all being controlled by the Mind, like a Hivemind. The Mind is trying to make his GS body come alive using the Ignika. Mata Nui takes over the body in the end. Fights Makuta and wins. Takanuva becomes the second GS. So we've got an outline, but no details. Vote! [Yay finally a new one] How do they explore: As a team | Split off into 2 groups Split off into 3 groups Split into 4 All wander alone. [>.>] Villains [as sets]: One for every area | 2 for every area 3 4 5 6 Where will the refugees be? Right Arm | Left Arm Chest Right Leg Left Leg Head 24 hours! So we still need: GLATORIAN. [seriously. >.<] Agori. Refugees, Villains and Story. [-TA-]

I'm kinda here, I've been reading, but just not posting since I've got a summer camp and I'm kind of lost where the heck we're going. >.> We've kind of drifted off with everyone's own idea. I'm not sure where Tyranide's Gruzblas comes in either. o.o I'm not sure what to put in the vote topic either. I like all the art, and you guys are getting somewhere with the parasite launchers. Love those things. And where will these Villains be located? I'm assuming Right Arm Jungle/Tesara place? We still don't have the Glatorian, so I'm really confused. ._. Everyone was like panicking, "I got a Glatorian! I got a Glatorian!", then a few pages later, nothing. Yami apparently finished, but no pics. We have no Mats or Gelu. We got the The Dor's Raider, BFA's Mine, Another White Glatorian by Lepaka and nothing else. Where is everyone and their Glatorian? We've [kinda] got the setting, and [an outline of] a story, but we're missing characters. =/ I'm wondering if we should change the way we're doing this completely. >.> Maybe like an "Art or MOC a character/s and play an RPG!", because I really don't know how we're going to develop a storyline out of this with just a bunch of characters and small bits of voting. D: Or some sort of GM thing, where it's like a Choose-your-own-adventure, with the group choosing their choices along the way, but that'd mean someone writes the entire story, and lack of control from the others. =/ But in the end, the writing would be done by one person most likely, just taking bits of the things we voted on, if we keep pursuing the way we are right now. In short, I'm lost. [-TA-]

I really doubt Mask Packs will be viable like that. The cost for recolors, like that would be worth more, especially if you take in how many helmets there are. @_@ I'd just say some better Color Schemes would make some stuff better. Only ones I have too much of a Problem with is Tellerius and Crotesius. Crotesius seems too Monochrome and Tellerius has the awkward Mata Yellow Forearms. Everything else is fine, and I personally like how Kirbraz looks. <3 [-TA-]

That tells me you don't want to rebuild them Well at least that's why I don't take any inner components off of Rockoh and Axalara. >.> [-TA-]

You got Skopio? And no review on EB? You make us very sad. ;_; But seriously, how is it? :P Is the side as sucky as I think it to be? And how is Tellerius? [-TA-]

Cendox review: On BZP Very nice, liking it. Just need to get rid of those pesky red and blue blobs. >< And the helmet is so sleek. Kaxium: Slightly old, but I didn't see it til today. >.> Worse than I thought. The insides don't look as spiffy. D: But those silver helmets. @_@ [-TA-]

We got 3 refugees, we just need a what mix of species, and how many of each. I can brainstorm a couple: Old Withered Glatorian like Surel. Agori Agori in some sort of Boxer-esque-thing. Vorox pre-devolution. Some sort of elemental-being, like a Toa, dunno how to fit it. [-TA-]
